Wishing you a Happy Birthday

This week I’ve been sharing some of the card designs from my monthly Cards in the Mail Club. Each month the club focuses on a stamp set and designer paper. The packet included kits for 8 cards, 2 each of 4 designs. Also included are a half pack of the designer paper, a pack of embellishments and a roll of ribbon, for more crafting after the kits are completed. Today’s card is a fun Bandstand Pop Up and you might find it helpful to watch the video.

I’ve got two versions of the card for you today. This one uses a Basic White Thick base and the small die cut flowers from the Delightful Wishes Die set.

It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard envelope.

Here is a side view of the card.

The back of the card leaves a nice area for writing a personal message and even some space for more flowers.

For my video tutorial, I switched up the color of the base to Pecan Pie and chose some different flowers, also from the Delightful Wishes Die set.

Here are the paper dimensions for this card:

  • Base 4 1/4″ x 5 3/8″ scored at 3/4″ on each side
  • Base strips 2 1/2″ x 7″ scored at 3/4″, 2 1/2″, 4 1/2″ & 6 1/4″ then cut in half long ways at 1 1/4″ to create two strips
  • Colored Matte for back 4″ x 3 5/8″
  • White for back 3 3/4″ x 3 3/8″
  • DSP strips cut 4 1/2″ x 4″
  • DSP 4 pieces 1 1/2″ x 1″
  • DSP 2 pieces 1 3/4″ x 1″
  • Scraps for die cutting
  • Vellum for circle
